a. mean= 5.66, s2 = 1.066, s = 1.03

b. mean = -$1.5, s2 = 11.95, s = $3.45c

c. mean = 0.4125%, s2 = 0.088, s = 0.29%

d. a = 3, b = $10, c = 0.7375%

Step by step solution

01

Computing xbar, s2, and s for a

n=4+6+6+5+6+76=346=5.66

s2=2n1=45.662+65.662+65.662+55.662+65.662+75.66261=2.7556+0.1156+0.1156+0.4356+0.1156+1.79565=5.33365

=1.066

s=s2=1.066=1.03

Therefore, mean = 5.66, s2 = 1.066, s = 1.03

02

Calculating xbar, s2, and s for b

n=1+4+(3)+0+(3)+(6)6=96=1.5

s2=2n1=11.52+41.52+31.52+01.52+31.52+61.5261=0.25+30.25+3+3+3+20.255=59.755=11.95

s=s2=11.95=3.45

Therefore, mean = -$1.5, s2 = 11.95, s = $3.45

03

Estimating xbar, s2, and s for c

n=0.6+0.8+0.4+0.2+0.06255=2.06255=0.4125%

s2=2n1=0.60.41252+0.80.41252+0.40.41252+0.20.41252+0.06250.4125251=0.035+0.15+0.00015+0.045+0.12254=0.354

=0.088

s=s2=0.088=0.29%

Therefore, mean = 0.4125%, s2 = 0.088, s = 0.29%

s2=2n1=0.60.41252+0.80.41252+0.40.41252+0.20.41252+0.06250.4125251=0.035+0.15+0.00015+0.045+0.12254=0.354

04

Finding the Range

Range = Max 鈥 Min

  1. 4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 7

Range=MaxMin=74=3

b. - $1, $4, - $3, $0, - $3, - $6



Range=MaxMin=46=$10


c. 3/5 %, 4/5 %, 2/5 %, 1/5 %, 1/16 %

Range=MaxMin=0.80.0625=0.7375%

Crash tests on new cars.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash-tests new car models to determine how well they protect the driver and front-seat passenger in a head-on collision. The NHTSA has developed a 鈥渟tar鈥 scoring system for the frontal crash test, with results ranging from one star (*) to five stars (). The more stars in the rating, the better the level of crash protection in a head-on collision. The NHTSA crashtest results for 98 cars (in a recent model year) are stored in the accompanying data file.

a. The driver-side star ratings for the 98 cars are summarized in the Minitab printout shown below. Use the information in the printout to form a pie chart. Interpret the graph.

Network server downtime.A manufacturer of network computer server systems is interested in improving its customer support services. As a first step, its marketing department has been charged with the responsibility of summarizing the extent of customer problems in terms of system downtime. The 40 most recent customers were surveyed to determine the amount of downtime (in hours) they had experienced during the previous month. These data are listed in the table.

a.Construct a box plot for these data. Use the information reflected in the box plot to describe the frequency distribution of the data set. Your description should address central tendency, variation, and skewness.

b.Use your box plot to determine which customers are having unusually lengthy downtimes.

c.Find and interpret the z-scores associated with the customers you identified in part b.

Performance-based logistics.Refer to the Journal of Business Logistics(Vol. 36, 2015) study of the factors thatlead to successful performance-based logistics (PBL) projects, Exercise 1.15 (p. 49). Recall that the opinions of a sampleof 17 Department of Defense employees and suppliers weresolicited during interviews. Demographics (current position,organization type, experience) were recorded for each intervieweeand the data are listed in the table below.

a.Find and interpret the mean years of experience for the 17 interviewees.

b.Find and interpret the median years of experience for the 17 interviewees.

c.Find and interpret the mode of the 17 years of experience values.

Using only integers between 0 and 10, construct two data sets with at least 10 observations each that have the same range but different means. Construct a dot plot for each of your data sets, and mark the mean of each data set on its dot diagram.

Question: Permeability of sandstone during weathering.Refer to the Geographical Analysis(Vol. 42, 2010) study of the decay properties of sandstone when exposed to the weather, Exercise 2.47 (p. 96). Recall that slices of sandstone blocks were tested for permeability under three conditions: no exposure to any type of weathering (A), repeatedly sprayed with a 10% salt solution (B), and soaked in a 10% salt solution and dried (C). Measures of variation for the permeability measurements (mV) of each sandstone group are displayed in the accompanying Minitab printout.
